The correct answer is: a) Lord Shiva.
Purmandal Mela is a Hindu festival that is celebrated in the month of Shravan (July-August) in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The festival is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and is held at the Purmandal temple in the town of Haridwar.
The festival is a major tourist attraction and draws thousands of pilgrims from all over India. The main attraction of the festival is the procession of the Purmandal, a large chariot that is decorated with flowers and images of Lord Shiva. The chariot is pulled through the streets of Haridwar by devotees and is accompanied by music and dancing.
The festival is also a time for people to take a dip in the holy Ganges River. It is believed that bathing in the Ganges on the day of Purmandal Mela can wash away one’s sins.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Goddess Parvati is the consort of Lord Shiva.
- Lord Vishnu is the preserver god in the Hindu Trimurti.
- Lord Rama is one of the most important deities in Hinduism. He is the hero of the Ramayana, one of the most popular epics in Indian literature.
